About the Spiraea -
Darts Red :
The Spirea 'Dart's Red', Spiraea x bumalda
'Dart's Red', is a deciduous semi-evergreen shrub.
It is a low growing shrub with rounded shape. The
thin branches give Dart's Red a very dense
appearance. The young leaves have a pinkish red
color and become dark green at maturity.
Distinguished by their size, bloom color and
season of bloom, spireas all have small leaves and
fine, twiggy branches. Once established, they are
drought tolerant.
